The allusion to not recognizing Mt. Tai

The allusion to having eyes but not recognizing Mt. Tai is as follows:

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a skillful craftsman in the state of Lu named Gongbuban, who was extremely skillful in both building palaces and inventing. It is said that he once invented a wooden kite that could fly in the sky, so people worshipped him and called him Master Lu Ban. Lu Ban had quite a number of disciples, and he did train quite a number of high-ranking students. He was very strict with his disciples in order to keep his reputation. After his disciples had studied for some time, Luban conducted an examination and eliminated those who were very low in level and made little progress in order to maintain the high level of his disciples.

Legend has it that there was an apprentice named Taishan, originally a bamboo maker in the southern countryside, whose bamboo weaving skills were originally very good. He admired the skillful craftsman Lu Ban, so he traveled a long way and came to worship him as his master. Since Taishan had never studied carpentry before, he did not make much progress when learning the art of carpentry. He also failed to explain the situation to Lu Ban, so that he failed in the examination. Lu Ban also eliminated him without asking the reason.

Time passed, and many years passed. Lu Ban once traveled to the south. He wandered around the market, found the market stalls on the group of a lot of novel shape, chic workmanship of the very fine bamboo utensils. Lu Ban walked around and looked at, really praise, love, customers are also gathered in front of the stalls compete to buy these bamboo utensils.

Lu Ban, a talented man, was very curious to see this scene, and asked the people in the market, these bamboo utensils are made by who, he longed to see the master of the art of bamboo craftsmanship. Some people in the market told him: this master is Lu Ban master's disciple Taishan, he had learned from Lu Ban, so the craft is called great!

Don't ask about it, once you ask about it, you realize that this master is actually eliminated by their own disciples, and then both surprise and guilt. The happy is his own disciple actually has such a strong skills; guilt is their own then did not find this rare talent. When he thought of the incident of learning the art in Taishan Mountain, Lu Ban was overwhelmed with emotion. He said to his disciples who accompanied him with deep remorse: "At that time, I really had the eyes not to recognize Taishan!"

Chinese idioms

Legend has it that Lu Ban did not have a full understanding of "Taishan" and expelled the talent from his master's door by mistake, and then he sighed "I had the eyes but could not recognize Taishan", and in real life, Taishan is also a great example of a mountain. In real life, Taishan is a famous mountain, generally should be recognized. The expression "having eyes but not recognizing Mount Tai" can be interpreted as not recognizing the famous mountain, which shows the superficiality of one's own knowledge. The fact that Luban was able to reproach himself for not recognizing Taishan shows that he realized his own one-sidedness and mistakes, and that his spirit is rare.

"The cart in front of us and the car after the car", the idiom tells people, the problem should be viewed from a variety of aspects of a comprehensive understanding of the attitude of modesty and caution to treat people and things, people outside the people, outside the sky, can not be frivolous and arrogant, so that they fall into the "eyes do not recognize Mt. "The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of the situation.
